Fire safety signs that are universally effective in all situations.

Using safety-grade photoluminescent fire safety signs offers numerous advantages.

Compliance with various standards and codes, such as OSHA, NFPA 170, and the International Fire Code, mandates the use of fire safety signs. These signs play a crucial role in informing building occupants and fire department personnel about the locations of firefighting and fire alarm equipment, including fire extinguishers, fire hose reels, risers, valves, and fire alarm pull stations.

Ensuring the effectiveness of fire safety signs during both normal operations and emergencies requires careful consideration of several factors. Factors such as size, type, location, and construction material of fire safety signs are vital for creating a safe environment and reducing risks in facilities.

Selecting the appropriate size of fire safety signs involves matching them to their intended maximum viewing distance. According to ANSI Z535.2, the relationship between letter size used on supplementary texts and the sign's safe viewing distance is established. The table below illustrates ANSI's minimum letter height and its corresponding minimum safe viewing distance under favorable and unfavorable reading conditions.
